Well, I have to admit that I haven't been to spin class in a couple of weeks. The instructor that taught the class that I went to annoyed me on a number of occasions and I haven't been since the last incident. Then another instructor quit, and she was in the time slot that I was planning on going to. So I talked to personal trainer today and she's going to switch me from mondays and saturdays to mondays and wednesdays so I can go on saturdays class now. I really hope they get another instructor. The one that quit was teaching like 5 or 6 classes...

Hope you find a good instructor JMcambra. I wouldn't go either if I were annoyed. I loveee my instructor. She so supportive but yet ready to kick me in the ass with a scream of "pick up the pace!" if I need it. She watches if I turn my knob or not too..hehe. Anyways really hope u find one because I really think this class is doing the most for me and will probably do the same for you. Good luck

It's kind of weird now..I'm finding that the standing up part is easier on me then just the sprinting stuff. Was soo not the case a few weeks ago..lol

I signed up for a private spinning lesson for Tuesday - an introductory/private trainer kind of thing so that I can learn the proper form etc. Very nervous!

Good Luck KarenG.

I went sunday to the class with the instructor who is annoying. And thats exactly what it was. I was bored and I know I didn't push as hard as I normally do. I was disappointed in myself, but I know that its because of the instructor. I'm usually the only person there on sundays, every once in a while theres another person that shows, and all of the other instructors have 15+ in their classes. Just goes to show, I'm not the only one that is annoyed by her!

How'd the spin lesson go?

I'm trying a new instructor on Saturday morning. Its at 9, which means I'll have to be up by 7:30-8am.....might be a toughy since I like to sleep in a little on the weekends. I'll let you all know how it goes:biggrin1:

Thanks for asking! The spinning was great! I went to one on Monday night and one this morning ... can you believe it... at 630 am - meant getting up at 545. Have I gone crazy? I don't know if I will be doing the early class again but I did sign up for anothe class on Saturday.

My butt is really really really sore. Does that get better? I found I could stand up for all of the standing parts but I am sure that my form is really bad. The teacher is really sweet and helpful though!

The butt thing does get much better, but it took a while for me, almost 3 weeks...They do sell seat covers, which I guess help, I've never tried them though. Every time I see them I tell myself I'm going to buy one, then I never do. I don't know!

How'd the spin thread get on the second page????

Oh well, I'm getting back to spin (I HOPE) tomorrow morning. I haven't been in a few weeks, but I need something else to do while I take time off from trainer and running. I hope I'm not too sore!

I'd love to know this too JM..

Ohh in my spin class last night there was one girl that purchased actual spin shoes. I didn't even know they existed. They actually lock into the peddles. Seems sooo cool. I hate the straps on your feet. They hurt my feet at times.

Oh another thing. Last night we must have did about 50 push ups also on the bike. I mean who expects to actually have your arms hurting the next day from spin class. ;)

Oh, I know. I was thinking about getting a pair, I know someone who bought them and they said it makes such a huge difference.

I have gotten seriously addicted to spinning this past month. I even got a pair of shoes which are $$$. At my spinning studio you rent them if you don't have them - nobody uses regular sneakers. I would think it would be much harder without clipping into the bike.

FYI for whoever is thinking of trying it - the butt thing does get much better!

I do like them - I can't imagine spinning without.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
